Only the Honor and Glory of God dwells on this Mount.
-St. John of the Cross
Our Community of cloistered Discalced Carmelite Nuns, who pray for the Church and for the world, especially for the sanctification of priests and the salvation of souls, would like to share with you a difficult situation in which we find ourselves at present, with the hope that our Lord might inspire you to help us.
Our Carmelite Monastery, in the Diocese of Brooklyn, is located next to a park (just 10 feet away from our enclosure wall) which has proved to be a real problem and in recent times, even a danger for our Community.
This house is a Heaven, if one can exist on earth. It is a very happy life for anyone who is pleased with pleasing God.
- St. Teresa of Avila
